D Correct answer
Explanation

From I: Selling price = Rs. 252, Profit = Rs. 52, so Cost Price = Rs. 200. From II: Without discount, profit = Rs. 80, so Marked Price = Rs. 280. From III: 40% profit on Rs. 200 = Rs. 80, which is the same as II. So we need I to find CP, and either II or III to find MP. Discount = 280 - 252 = Rs. 28, so discount % = 28/280 × 100 = 10%.
